I use one of the maintained forks of watchtower.

I use it to auto update within stable versions for things that are reputable enough to not make breaking changes, so nginx, apache, wireguard, traefik, etc. In over 10 years of running Plex I don’t think I’ve experienced a breaking update in the last 5-7 years at least, so I consider it safe enough. Any other software like Immich that I’m not sure if that’s safe, I keep it behind a vpn and update manually. But for things as big as nginx especially I feel very safe letting it auto update within a major version.

Yeah good call. I keep using an actively maintained fork because I can’t be bothered to switch to another project.

As someone who has nearly all internet facing software auto update with watchtower nightly my cortisol is so low

It’s sad that you’ve already blocked me apparently, but what I find even more illuminating is that you don’t think calling furries a kink is being a jerk, yet pointing out how doing so is bigoted is?

For the spectators, note that OP is the one who called furries a kink, and that I was being very polite, up to and even just after that point. If you don’t want to be called bigoted, don’t call an entire group of people a “kink”.

That’s a nonsensical comparison. Bigoted people often say the same thing about trans and gay people - that the rainbow flag is perceived as a sex thing and that it isn’t appropriate or shouldn’t be brought up because it will be associated with sex

I’m sorry to say that your view is bigoted.

Look, I’m going to try to make this as clear as I can, because I would like to be charitable and just assume you are just being ignorant and not intentionally bigoted:

If you can understand that being gay or trans isn’t a kink just because there is porn of gay and trans people, I don’t think it should be a stretch for you to understand that furries aren’t a kink just because there is porn of furries. If your mind immediately goes to sex when furries are mentioned, you not only come across as someone who immediately thinks trans and gay people are promoting sex at pride parades, but it also gives the impression that the only exposure you have to furries is through porn.

Please, get your mind out of the gutter. A large number of my furry friends are even asexual - meaning they want nothing to do with kink or sex.

If you don’t want to bring up furries to your coworkers, fine, that’s understandable but sad that they’re like that. But the way you talk about it and your assumptions are showing a lot of ignorance.

</soapbox>

Are you for real?

I’m thinking the same about you right now. You’re one of those people who must sexualize everything 🙄

Sorry but I don’t think this conversation is going to go anywhere productive.

I’m sorry your workplace is so lame 😞 most of the IT at my last job were furries, and half of the dev team were trans or gay. I couldn’t imagine working somewhere that rejects valid software just because of its associations. That’s kinda like shooting yourself on the foot.

Idk my last workplace was full of nerds who appreciated the pedigree of anubus’ creator. We used it to protect our production sites without even changing the branding. If I were in your place I would find it very hard to resist bringing up the amount of furries in tech.

I have about 50% humidity and don’t usually dry my filament and I start to have issues with the outer layer of the spool snapping repeatedly when feeding after a year or two of sitting out. I used to have a dryer for cases like this but it got left behind in a move so I currently try to only use my new spools until I can get another one because I don’t trust using the oven and using the heat bed is really slow.

I use haproxy just for simplicity, with the https fronted in tcp mode with a tcp request inspect delay and acls using req_ssl_sni allows switching between multiple backend based on hostname, though if you only had 1 backend server then it could just be a raw tcp proxy. I have my stuff split between 2 local boxes that are both connected to the reverse proxy using wg so this works well for me.

I use a wireguard tunnel as a reverse proxy and it does ssl passthrough with sni. Termination happens on my local box and the reverse proxy host doesn’t do any certs.

I went with rsync.net, grabbed a promo at some point and have been getting 1.6TB for $10/mo. They support a wide range of protocols (sshfs, sftp, r sync, borg), snapshots, idle alerts, geo redundancy for a fee. Been very happy with it so far. Had to retrieve some files once and had no issue.

Doesn’t this need an AI disclosure in the title and post per the rules of this community?

I completed a 300 mile move yesterday, and my homelab was one of the least stressful parts thanks to my pre-emptive downsizing from a half rack to just a Synology + Intel nuc. I also pre-emptively switched from forwarded ports to a reverse proxy because I didn’t want to be thinking about what isp I would end up with. Even further, I linked the nas and nuc directly with Ethernet so that I wouldn’t need to rely on static IPs or router-assisted local hostnames, mdns, avahi, whatever because I wanted to be able to transplant my lab onto any network just in case of emergency - thankfully I haven’t had to test that out but it’s nice knowing my lab should work on any network where both boxes can reach the internet / my reverse proxy. I was thinking worst case if we ended up in some apartment complex with some crappy provided setup that had broken local discovery then it would be 1 less thing to worry about.

To re-state, it’s not a problem of understand or the language, it’s a problem with overused, bland, and repetitive language and phrasing. It’s not fun to read even if you can understand it perfectly.

Yeah Google translate preserves a lot more of your communication style. AI overuses so many phrases it can get annoying reading something that was processed through it.

Mmmm fresh slop

My primary use case is safeguarding my important personal artifacts (family photos, digitized paperwork, encryption key / account recovery / 2FA backups) against drive failure (~2TB), followed by my decently sized Plex server (23TB), immich, nextcloud, and various other small things like selfhosted bitwarden, grocy, ollama, and stuff like that.

I run all of my stuff off of a 6 bay Synology (more drives helps with capacity as double redundancy with 6 drives costs you 30%) with an Intel nuc on top to run plex/jellyfin transcoding using quicksync instead of loading the poor nas with cpu transcoding, I also run ollama on the nuc since it has faster cores than the nas.
